REL-1.1.2

Release 1.1.2 includes the ability to author the help text in the /report and /create views. The default help text, if you choose to use it, will no longer be hard coded in the template HTML.

If you are performing a fresh install, then you do not need to take any action as these values are already included in the default install procedure - you may disregard the remainder of this document.

If you are upgrading from a previous release, until you follow this procedure, you will receive errors when attempting to access the /report and /create views.
